Bes Adjudicata.—The doctrine, that a proposition of law, once announced in a particular case, on appeal to the Supreme Court, becomes the law of that case on a second appeal, though the law may have been differently construed in the meantime, though sanctioned by high authority, lias never been approved by this court.</p>
